I’ve been trying out different BB creams – just getting samples here and there-you know Estee Lauder, Clinique, Dr. Jart, Boscia, Sulwahsoo etc. I’m wondering when Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier will jump on the bandwagon? Long after mineral powder firmly placed Bare Escentuals as the category killer, Bobbi Brown brought out hers. I tried but didn’t buy. I bought Laura Mercier’s- but the product rep failed to tell me that the color gets pretty dark -so I gave it to my friend who tans.
Anyway.
Now I’m wondering when Laura M and Bobbi B will offer up a BB cream? I mean, I really like the idea of a one size fits all products but the tint is usually off for Asian complexions, or I worry about spf protection and put on my beloved Clarins spf40 on anyway.
Recently I was killing a few minutes in Macy’s and wandered by Lancome‘ (the Neiman’s Lancome counter is getting smaller and smaller-probably because the woman there is one of those counter snobs.
Off topic.
The floater at Macy’s came out and told me she didn’t know too much since she was just helping whoever at whatever counter. That’s cool-it was refreshing to talk to someone who admitted they didn’t know much as opposed to the people who go right ahead and sell you something you don’t need in the wrong color.
Can I get a witness?
I sampled Lancome’s RÉNERGIE ÉCLAT MULTI-LIFT – I paste in the name here because why don’t they just call it Energizing Multi-Lift Color? Kate Winslet is the spokesperson–watching her over the years from chubby heroine in Titanic to the woman she has become has been interesting. About 2 years ago, she had a moment of astounding beauty, but I’m sorry she just looks hard-Lancome’ needs to rethink her.
So, Lancome does not call it a BB product, but has all the claims of being lifting, illuminating and “skincare”. I have to admit it feels unbelievable on the skin, and the light tint actually looks perfect on me! The formula over my regular regimen(Kiehl’s Rosa Artica, Philosophy’s Booster C and Clarins spf 40) wore great all day-with no need to rehydrate with a little dab of Laura Mercier’s Secret Finish.
Pretty fab for $75.
Pretty expensive for foundation-but I guess their pricing theory is they are not calling it a BB cream, they call it a “treatment”, and of course it has a French name so it’s priced it accordingly.
But, I’ve used Renergie’ and it’s a great moisturizer but I don’t really see any other treatment effects-but it is pretty nice. Even if I gave up my regimen, I would still have to put spf under.
Great product. Try it, you might like it.
